Stillness in Daylight

2013-10-05T19:04:00.003-04:00

But I'm in a small town
With nothing to do.
Here I am waiting,
Writing for you.
Listen to my guitar,
You're only a few miles far.
In this small town,
I can wait for you.

Listen to my voice,
I'll always wait for you.

My Hayride Guy

2013-09-24T01:45:00.001-04:00

He's my fall time joy
My sweet pumpkin boy
Taking my hand into everything
He's love at first sight
October leaves in flight
The midday winds singing

He's my stepping stones
My ice cream cone
And the boy who'll always catch me
He's my hayride guy
My flashlight in the night
And the starry skies above me

Crowned

2013-09-14T01:45:00.005-04:00

I'm hypnotized
Touch me, I'll fall
Into your arms
Is where I belong
Now read my eyes
You are all that I want

Believe, my love

Your heart's the flame
You're burning me now
But smile boy,
I'm the sparks off the ground
I'm crazy in love
You're the reason I live

Believe, my love

You're the one I need
The boy who understands me
You're the butterflies crowning my head

You're the one I need
The boy who truly loves me
You're the high prince who chose me instead

Of a beautiful girl

You're so amazing
Got my heart under your wings
Your name is written
On every song that I sing
Believe me love
When I say this is true

My love's for you

Your heart's the flame
You're burning me now
So hurry boy,
Don't let me fall down
Cuz I'm crazy in love
I wanna be by your side

Yeah, my love's for you

You're the one I need
The boy who understands me
You're the butterflies crowning my head

You're the one I need
The boy who truly loves me
You're the high prince who chose me instead

Of a beautiful girl

I'm hypnotized
Touch me, I'll fall
Into your arms
Is where I belong
Now read my lips
You're the prince of our kiss

Believe, you're crowned

You're the one I need
The boy who understands me
You're the butterflies crowning my head

You're the one I need
The reason why I'm lucky
Cuz you're the high prince who chose me instead

Of a beautiful girl

Two Doves

2013-07-19T04:12:00.000-04:00

And I'll love you
Like a soaring bird in the skies.
Majestically flying and
Embracing what's mine.
Holding onto faith, believing that
The world we have is true.
Never giving up on eachother,
Never giving up on you.
Remembering all the times
These skies have seen us.
Repeating words we've said,
Trusts and promises.
I'll never forget you and never forget
What it's like under your wings.
"If you're a bird, I'm a bird,"
Let me be your faithful queen,
And I promise, I'll love you like a reigning king.

Prince

2013-07-15T00:23:00.002-04:00

I promise, you're my prince.
You're the one I love to kiss.
You're the one I hold to my heart.
Forever together, never apart.
Remember how the world stopped for us?
When everything was just as we promised?
It was perfect, it was sweet.
Forever I am off my feet.
You sweep me away into the skies.
You're my superman with no disguise!
I'll always and forever proclaim my love for you,
Trust me on this, my words are true!
I'm so lucky to have you,
You're my hero every day.
I lean to you and I look up to you.
I love you.

You're my prince, I promise.
Read the poem below this.
I'm nothing without you and your love.
I'm just ordinary, I'm just a girl.
I'd be so lonely in this world.
You protect me and take care of me.
You are so kind and you treat me sweetly!
Forget the words I ever said.
Please forget that I hurt you again.
You're my prince, the one I kiss.
So read the one below this.
Maybe it will describe more about
How much you really mean to me.
Always and forever, always meant to be.

Pierced By Thorns

2013-07-13T03:11:00.000-04:00

I just want you to know
I'm everything but beautiful.
I'm wretched and poor,
I stand in closed doors.
Beautiful is in deep sea...
Maybe this is war.
I've never gone through this before.
Why do I feel so imperfect?
Am I rare, or even worth it?
Stones hit my chest,
And I am unable to breathe.
Beautiful is in concrete...
Maybe this is cold.
The words I'm saying versus told.
Why do I feel so alone?
Here I am in my room, frozen.
Thoughts roaming, eyes closing.
Beautiful is in the chosen...

I just want you to know
I don't see myself as beautiful.
Maybe this is meaningless;
And I'm taking this out of proportion.
Then again, maybe this is true.

Then again, not when I'm with you.
And with you, I feel beautiful.

Element

2013-06-19T00:19:00.005-04:00

I try to keep puzzle pieces into place,
But courageous feats just run away.
I stay hidden beneath its paper clones,
Miles of piles like stacked up stones.
I'm trying to find light in this dark place,
But in this box it seems I'm meant to stay.
How will I find some outlet out?
I'm going bare, no one hears my shouts.

I'm so little, I'm so helpless.
Claustrophobic and restless.
These four walls won't seem to break,
But it's my fault, my mistake.
I should have broken free when the chance came.
I need to stand up for myself and not cave.
I'm meant for something better, something great.
I have a purpose not meant for this restraint.
I have two legs and two arms,
Meant for something good, not harm.

I think I'm getting this.
The puzzle pieces are beginning to fit.
I'm finding my new place, my new element.
Courage is the key
To becoming what I was born to be.
To becoming something that is worthwhile.
Something that will go the miles.

Now I know this all starts in me.

Safe Keeping

2013-04-18T00:57:00.000-04:00

I'd live to die for him.

He's my resting place, my calm sea.

He is the place that I want to be.

Through trials and storms

He lifts me from the ground.

I hover over the city lights,

I see over my home southern nights.

He's gracious to me

And keeps me safe from any harm.

The world brightens at his smile,

Tangles when they hear his voice.

I'm so emptied of choice,

And it doesn't bother me.

I'm right in the place that I'm meant to be.

He is the boy that is meant for me,

He's my safety, my calm sea.

I brush up like a wave against his feet,

Never letting go, never leaving him into the deep,

Cuz I want to be his resting place when he needs me.

As Red Diamonds Would Be

2013-04-16T23:30:00.001-04:00

He's my safe haven, my handsome masterpiece.

He fits the places in my heart so benevolently.

He always there for me.

He reaches for my soul and breathes life into me.

My arms are outstretched for his love,

Courageously taking hold of his hand

Just to never let go.

Never to feel the weight of empty air,

And to believe in a love so truly rare,

Only to come to realize that true love is fair.

A love that glides through the skies so effortlessly.

He has come into my life so pleasantly and unscripted.

He's become a daily chance to love over and over again.

To fall in love each time my eyes open.

He's the epitome of love.

He is my true safe haven,

A masterpiece as priceless as red diamonds.

My Puzzle Piece

2013-03-11T22:37:00.003-04:00

He makes me feel like home.

Like he is where I'm meant to be.

Like a finished puzzle piece,

Like a flower fully bloomed.

He makes me swoon,

I get butterflies when I think of him.
I melt in my heart thinking of him.
This boy, he makes me feel like home.
Like he is where I'm supposed to be.
I'm like a missing puzzle piece
Finally finding what's missing from me.
He is what I need and who I am.
I'm like a flower, fully bloomed.

Precious

2013-03-11T22:34:00.001-04:00

I want rose petals on top of my covers.
Surprise chocolates hanging from my door.
I want to walk into my room to find you there,
I want to be hugged from behind without asking,
I want you to play with my hair.
I remember when you used to feed me those little sour patch bears.

I want a candle-lit, romantic dinner.
I want to watch movies while snuggling in my bed.
I just want to be silly without it going too far,
And tell you about every plot of every book I've read.
I want you to know I love Country music,
Without you making fun of their voice.
Build a house with you when we're older that blocks out inner noise.
I want our children to know of the true love we carry in our hearts.
I remember when you first kissed me, your lips lit sparks.

Though I can never get the words you said to me out of my head,
The ones that really hit my heart hard.
I want to always show you how much I truly love you,
And that my love for you will never fall apart.
I want our love to stay sweet,
Stay pure and innocent.
I want sensitive and romantic.
I want silly and precious,
Just like we promised.
Just like we said
On July 30, 2010.

It's a Love Story

2013-02-11T21:01:00.000-05:00

Our candles are lit.

The moment sticks,

With every inch covered in rose petals.

Our room, a sacred haven of our love,

Radiates strawberry-vanilla scents.

Smells, it smells like him, his perfect cologne.

I close my eyes and wait by the phone.

But he's home.

I see his lights beam through the windows,

Off the walls and back at me.

I see his smile as I run to the door.

There he is, my beloved Amor.

I'm wearing his work shirt,

Buttoned up like a dress on me.

He wraps his arms around my waist,

Leaving but little space from what I see.

He tells me he's home,

And I smile, "I know."

He says,

"The candles are lit, our moment's here,

Whisper that sweet voice in my ear.

Take me to our room,

Our sweet haven of love.

I'm dying to know what you're thinking of."

So I close my eyes and I wait for his kiss.

But he's already left my lingering lips.

I chase after him into our sweet haven.

I see his smile as I reach the door.

There he is, my charming Amor.

Sweetheart

2013-02-11T20:42:00.000-05:00

And I saw it in his eyes,
He loved me from head to toe.
He worried of what I might know.
But here's the truth about me,
I'll never judge by what I see,
'Cause his heart is what I love.
Attractions are just extra,
His smile is worth it all,
I'll always be there for him,
Be there when he falls.
He's my Bestfriend,
The one I'll be there for 'til the end,
The boy who I'm in love with, with every breath.
He comforts me and cares for me.
And I intend to do the same.
One day, my last name is gonna changed.

Broken River

2013-01-26T14:39:00.003-05:00

I'm here at a river,
Walking through from stone to stone.
I'm wondering how far I have left to go.
Seeing the past and present collide,
Wondering when I'll find the other side.
This is a sadness I've never known.

This is true hurt, and true pain.
Why did I choose a path of mistake?
Regret and fear breaks through my hands.
The tears shattering under a hammer's head.
I'm a river not knowing where to go.
This is a sadness I've never known.

Each step I would take,
I never knew what it would change.
I never thought the one thing I love now
Would be affected by my past bad decisions.
I'm here at a river,
Walking from stone to stone.
This is a kind of sadness I wish I'd never known.

Love Is a Mystery

2013-01-06T01:23:00.000-05:00

Love is like unwrapping a mystery flavor,
It either works for your tastes buds, or it doesn't.
It has a sense of humor.
It prickles at your tongue.
It doesn't leave you alone.
You begin to wonder and question its flavor.
Is it what you were hoping?
Does it make you want more?
Did it make you smile or scowl?
Was it sweet or foul?

It either understands your taste or it doesn't.
Because love is like unwrapping a mystery flavor.
You don't know which one you're gonna get.
But when you do, you'll either
Love it, hate it, or be undecided.
But, out there somewhere is your perfect mystery flavor.

Mine turned out to be spicy,
Though I prefer sweet.
But sometimes sweet and spice
Turns into everything nice.

Crossed

2013-01-05T05:31:00.000-05:00

Infinitely strong.

His heart is what I long.

His love is what I need.

I'm prepared to be of greed.

As long as we're in love,

Truly in love, I mean,

As long as we are what we need,

True love is all we should perceive.

Immeasurable love defines us.

Endlessly loving just as we promised.

Always and forever united.

Amazed and in awe at how

Perfectly our worlds collided.

We will be infinitely strong.

Constantly perfecting ourselves like a song.

Seeing all of our rights and our wrongs,

Not caring one bit about our flaws.

Because being perpetually in love

Is the only place our hearts crossed.

Every Second Is a Kiss

2012-12-16T00:49:00.000-05:00

For every raindrop
Is a kiss to you.
For every flower
In the spring that blooms.
For every hour
I never spend with you,
Every second is a kiss to you.

For every star in
The night time sky,
For every tear
That falls from my eyes.
For every waking moment
That I'm alive,
Every second is a kiss to you.

And Still He Loves Me

2012-12-16T00:40:00.000-05:00

I'm jealous of how we used to be,
How sweet and innocent you spoke to me.
The way you told me how you felt everyday,
How gently you'd say my name.
I miss the "us" that we were,
The young love that we were.
The innocence in what we would say,
The small gentle kiss we would sneak in.
The endless hugs we'd sink in.
You'd look me in the eyes and smile,
You never even looked down at my body.
You saw me, just me. Only me.
You loved me,
And my heart melted into yours.
You felt my soul and made it soar.
I never knew how long this would last,
But I'm so happy this hasn't passed.

You still love me, even until this day.
Although it's not the same.
I see the difference in the way you smile.
The way you laugh and hold me down.
The difference in the way say my name,
The way you tell me that you'd never love again.
I see it now, how innocent we were then.
We have been through so much together,
So much like always and forever.
I told you that one day and
You said you'd never forget.
It's true, you never did.
You still love me just like we promised.

I might be jealous of how we used to be,
But still to this day your love runs over me.
You're my bestfriend that keeps me in love,
Your my everything that I'd never give up.

Pumpkins

2012-10-21T00:11:00.001-04:00

I'm leaping through pumpkin isles,
I look back and I see you smile.
You tell me that I look like a baby deer.
I turn around and go back to you,
I start playfully punching you,
And you pretend that I've broken you.

You take me by the hand,
And you show me a pumpkin I might like.
I smile and I see you feel satisfied.
You tell me that it was nothing but that you tried,
And I hug you with all my might
And you pretend that I've broken you.

Boy, I'm as little as anyone could be.
Why do you keep teasing me?
But anyways I keep on smiling.
I poke you around your chest,
Wondering if you've got pecks,
Then you pretend that I've broken you!

Again I say, boy, I'm not that strong.
I'm as little as the town I'm from.
Then you see my face
And grab me around my waist.

He tickles me every where!
I think the words, but I do not swear.
I'm laughing until my ribs really hurt.
I tell him, boy, I think you've broken me,
I can't seem to get back on my feet,
C'mon, I'm as little as anyone could be.

Then you sit up right,
Look me in the eyes,
And you take my hand so gently.
Here I am, looking you in the eyes,
You don't understand how much
My butterflies rise.

He says, "Girl, you've broken me,
Why can't we just already be?
I'm here waiting for you to be mine.
I see your eyes are beautiful,
Take my hand, you're something more...
Then just a friend.
Girl, I'm broken...
For you."

Blocked

2012-10-20T23:52:00.002-04:00

There is really less to say,
I've written what I've had on my plate.
Writing was a filter for all my love.
But everything's already lifted into the sky above.

It's not that I've lost my love,
It's not that I can't write.
It's thinking of more things to say,
And saying it right.

I've been strewn down
Because of not knowing
What else to express.
I'm feeling empty and burdened,
Speechless and compressed.

Writer's block.
That's what this is.
Not knowing what to write,
Not knowing what else to express.
Speechless and compressed.

Don't Shoot Me Down

2012-10-08T01:48:00.000-04:00

Cuz I will fall,
I'm not the master of it all.
Here I am with all my love,
But you don't understand it's true.
All that I am is here for you,
Nothing about anybody else is real.
I keep telling you what I feel,
And it's like you don't believe me.
I'm not bulletproof,
I've got you to lose,
And I never want that to happen.
I love you, and that's the truth.
Just believe in my words,
Let my heart be heard.

Wrapped In Love

2012-08-30T21:07:00.002-04:00

I'm wrapped in your arms tonight,
Beneath these star-studded skies I'm all right.
We're perfect where we are,
We don't need no fancy car.
We stay in eachother's arms all night.
I love the way you kiss my cheek,
As if everything in this world is at our feet.
You never disappoint my beaming heart,
You never step back and break me apart.
You love me and you care for me,
That's the reason why I'm always happy.
I'm always happy because of you,
That's why I know that all of this love is true.

You wrap me in your arms all night long,
I knew we'd never get this true love wrong.

Battle Scars

2012-07-18T00:42:00.000-04:00

Battling unearthed wars is demanding.
Step inside my mind, see where I'm standing.
Believe in my instinct just once,
Understand where I'm coming from.
Take a shot for me as I would for you.
But those are things you can't do,
You won't do.

Be still in my presence.
Watch my eyes, see them break,
See them cry.
Look beyond my flesh,
Be there to catch my breath.
Hold my hand before I fall.
See this heart go through it all.

Battle through my broken smiles.
Break into my heart,
Tear me apart,
And fix me all over again.
Understand this place I'm coming from.
Patch my wounds just enough.
Feel my mind racing up mountains.
Observe my heart through rising actions.

I'm not saying that I'm at war.
Just scent my thoughts, feelings, worries.
Believe in my love, my choice of words.
Hold my heart closer to yours.
Resharpen tormented swords,
And bask in present glory.

This Boy

2012-07-09T22:36:00.000-04:00

And I got a single glimpse of sweet love tonight.

I can't understand it all at one time, though.

But he kissed my lips with a smile,

And held me back against the wall.

He took my hand and it felt as if he'd never let go.

He breathed and it felt as if he'd live to be forever mine.

Forever in time, forever beside me.

This boy, he truly loved me.

This boy, he truly adored me.

This boy, this boy I'd never let him go.

He made me feel truly in love,

But I can't understand it all at one time, though.

But here I am, falling in more love than I truly really know,

With this boy.

Arise

2012-07-09T22:26:00.000-04:00

Arise my deep soul,
Stay alive, stay whole.
Write from within your heart,
Write like there was no start.
Believe in me, believe in us.
Achieve greater things,
More than what you can trust.
Arise sweet soul,
Make the secrets unfold,
And build a mindset to tell of the untold.
Arise brave soul,
Know that you have what it takes,
To believe and achieve in something great.
